This is not the best vermouth on the shelf. There are more complex vermouths with better definition, grace notes and unusual herbs that add distinctive touches. There are vermouths that are deeper and more powerful, but dollar for dollar, there is no vermouth available that offers more quality for less than Giacomo Sperone. This is classic Vermouth di Torino with that profound citrus lined cola note that makes the classification famous, and the price is eye-popping low.
